Did this on my 2008 MacBook, still running Snow Leopard. The speed was immediately noticeable when browsing the web.
I'd recommend it if anyone else has noticed a slow down at all.
- niels_olson 12y agoI gotta ask: why are you still running Snow Leopard?
- maximumoverload 12y agoI am not him, but on one older Mac, I am running Snow Leopard because it's the last OS X I can run on a 32bit computer. And yes, I know, it has all the terrible ShellShock bugs and other stuff that will never be fixed, but I just need to run some OS X software time from time and I won't buy a new Mac because of that. And when I tried to install Linux on that, Wi-fi didn't work properly, and there were some other issues I had with I think rebooting and maybe some other hardware stuff (I know, it sounds like a cliche, but it's true)
- maxmwood 12y agoI don't feel there are any real benefits in upgrading. It'll just slow down my MacBook even more.
- niels_olson 12y agoThanks for the honest reply. I wasn't trying to be judgemental, just trying to understand specific reasons, rather than admit the nebulous cloud of "because".
- ams6110 12y agoI still run Tiger on a PowerBook G4.
- bitcuration 12y agoI did the setting changes. Now the process monitor on my MBP (Yosemite) shows a bunch of "Google Chrome Helper" not responding in red. Not sure this has saved battery but seems battery goes out even quicker.
